Chapter 7

Nikravnek awoke among the branches of the refuge and sensed an ill feeling
in the tree. The fetish of bone had been taken and was among the lawmen.
He was quick to rise and bring it back with a yellow scroll of magical aid.

During the hunt for the captain and the fetish, a plunderer by the name of
Jaqusa, a shadow-fighter fought against him to try and prevent the release
of the fetish. Nikravnek managed to send him fleeing and regained the
fetish, but this was one of many attempts that Jaqusa had made on him
since he started wandering these lands.

The shadow-fighter Jaqusa showed his real allegiance when Nikravnek
awoke again to the anguish of the refuge as the scions of eternal night
had taken the fetish. This time Nikravnek took down the Jaqusa and gorged
himself on the flesh that remained. The rest he returned to the earth where
it will go some way to returning what has been plundered.

With blood still in his mouth Nikravnek wandered among the forest of spider
haunt and came across a totem, similar to others he had seen in Arendyl and
the udgaardian plains. He felt drawn to it and reached out to touch it, but
as he did so he was bitten by it and was struck down as poison scaled his
veins, venom creeping in from the totem, through his arm, into his chest and
towards his heart. His toes curled in agony, his fists clenched and his teeth
began to gnaw each other down. He could feel the poison inch towards his
heart, its beating growing slower yet louder until he thought it would explode.

His vision turned black as an ancient voice spoke to him of his future.
It saw in him the spark of ancients long since passed and hee saw
visions of fires sweeping across the cities, destroying the weak and
purging the lands of the tainted. Mercy to none or the venom that flows
now in his veins will consume him.
Nikravnek awakens as if he had slept for a century but aware of the burning
and itching of his blood. His hunger felt like his stomach gnawed on his
back bone. He needed to feed and feast on nature's bounty.
